gawk has been tested under VAX/VMS 7.3 and Alpha/VMS 7.3-1
using Compaq C V6.4, and Alpha/VMS 7.3, Alpha/VMS 7.3-2, and IA64/VMS 8.3.
The most recent builds used HP C V7.3 on Alpha VMS 8.3 and both
Alpha and IA64 VMS 8.4 used HP C 7.3.109

The [.vms]gawk_build_steps.txt provides information on how to build
gawk into a PCSI kit that is compatible with the GNV product.
